Online public meeting to be held for mega-pylon project

Cross Border Connection

I am hosting an online public meeting about the Cross Border Connection Project at 6pm on 16 December.

The meeting will include representatives from Scottish Power Energy Networks, who have launched a consultation on the project, which would install approximately 75km of new overhead power lines across the Borders.

Anyone who wants to join the discussion can sign up at https://www.rachaelhamilton.co.uk/pylon-virtual-meeting  

The consultation period was extended to December 23 following pressure from the Scottish Conservatives for the views of local people to be fully considered.
